Prins Thomas (from the interview linked upthread): "I’m doing an album with The Mole" :DDD
that's really exciting, as i've been playing the new PT album and The Mole's For the Lost/There's Hope nonstop for the past few days (also Etienne Jaumet's Night Music, which is fucking awesome--produced by Carl Craig)

RA photoshopped that shirt to say "Adult Oriented Disco", which would be equally as good.

"80s:70s, cocaine:weed, precise:loose, synthetic:organic" I think I like this assessment. I hear more new wave, even Jam & Lewis in Lindstrom than in Prins thomas.
― Jacob Sanders, Friday, 26 February 2010 23:00 (fourteen years ago) link
we were just comparing the L&C album to the (Jam & Lewis-produced) SOS Band on the other thread!

re that new Prins Thomas 'Wendy Not Walter' track: I'm pretty sure Waves At Night are actually streaming Duff Disco's 'Red Hot' which samples the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and not a new Prins Thomas track

This is a lot better than L&PT II on first listen, much more direct and less noodly. Wendy Not Walter is immense.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:23 (fourteen years ago) link
oh man, I've gotta listen to this.
been jamming reinterpretations while cooking lately. it rules.

So the Prins Thomas album is out today - £5.49 on iTunes if that is how you get your music.
― I am using your worlds, Monday, 29 March 2010 20:26 (fourteen years ago) link
PT s/t is pretty good on first listen. I'll tread gingerly around the Krautrock comparisons as I'm no expert, but I do hear a lot of Neu! in a couple of tracks. Closer to L&PT II than Major Swellings sound-wise (well, duh) but I can see myself coming back to this more often than I will to II. "Wendy Not Walter" is lovely.
― Jeff W, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 10:33 (fourteen years ago) link
"Nattønsket" is my jam. Great album. I've totally come around to II in the last couple of months. In the wrong mood it's oodledoodle but when I'm a bit strung out it's a soothing listen.
― willem, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 11:23 (fourteen years ago) link
So how come iTunes is telling me I can't have it until 5th April?

― max, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 12:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh, you.
Does iTunes do presale? Because it looks like it's going to let me buy it buy I don't want to click confirm and pay my money until I know I'll have it.
However, the Time & Space Machine album, which I know *is* out this week, is nowhere to be seen. CONFUSEMENT.
― Delia & Daphne & Celeste (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh. It is actually downloading now. I kept thinking they were gonna yank the MP3s away from me at the last minute.
EXCITERATION.
I have to go to Rough Trade to get the TASM album, though, as I want that bonus disc coz Richard Norris's mixes are always so amazing.
― Delia & Daphne & Celeste (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 14:00 (fourteen years ago) link
liked the PT on first listen but it didn't wow me. neu! comparison is otm, but from a production standpoint, I actually kept thinking about solo michael rother while listening cuz the PT album is such a smooth take on the krautrock sound.
have to listen more, obviously.
and I loved L&PT II from my very first listen fwiw.
― original bgm, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
So far it's all about Snakemusic and erm... whatever the name of the last track that's playing right now is.

See what I mean by these leaks/advanced copies destroying discussion on ILX?
Pre-Release talk: 50+ posts (don't even want to go back and view all to see exactly how many)
Post-Release talk: 9 posts
This makes this messageboard really not fun for those of us who are not on PR lists and don't listen to leaks.
― Delia & Daphne & Celeste (Masonic Boom), Thursday, 1 April 2010 09:50 (fourteen years ago) link
That comparison is a bit unfair as the pre-release period (on this thread) lasted from Feb 9 to March 29 - give it some time, maybe more people will talk about it when they buy it in the weekend.
― willem, Thursday, 1 April 2010 11:17 (fourteen years ago) link
just posted an interview with Prins Thomas on my blog, as he asked me to scribe his bio for the album.

Following all the recommendations on ILX and elsewhere, I'm now listening to II for the first time (having actually bought it a few months back).
First impression: Ozric Tentacles. Not exactly the initial reaction I was expecting...
― Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 10:35 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess...? i'm hearing more alan parsons project
― hobbes, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 07:43 (fourteen years ago) link
agree w/ matt DC on the PT solo effort, floated my boat more than L+PT II which i just found a touch too jammy. more streamlined grooves on this.
― RESPECT A JOEY NEGRO (haitch), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 08:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish the Prins Thomas album had slightly less weedy drums.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 09:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Having conducted some more research, I'm finding the Lindstrom and Christabelle album far more agreeable.
― Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 11:36 (fourteen years ago) link
The new Diskjokke is an excellent album in roughly the same genre (as Lindstrøm, in particular)

I'm not finding it in the usual places but can't wait to hear the album now.
― skip, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link
diskjokke and bjorn torske are both kinda underrated imo
also, xp- pt's drum sound has never really done it for me, either. i love nearly all of his albums, and the new one may very well be his best, but his drumming is probably the worst thing about it. are they just mic'd poorly? or is it because he's playing relatively loose for the tight, motorik-style aesthetic he seems to be going for?

bjorn torske's Trobbel album is seriously underrated. One of the most interesting techno albums i've ever heard.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
geir, now i'm confused. what diskjokke are you referring to? not sure there is a "new" one per se?
